Where to go on a trip Jelka

Golf is one of the most widespread sports of today. This is also evidenced by the increasing number of quality golf courses across all of Slovakia. You can find an exceptionally popular golf complex in the village of Hrubá Borša, in the Senec district. Golf Borša offers an exclusive 18-hole championship course suitable for golfers of all levels and a 9-hole public course. A covered driving range building is also available, allowing you to practice your swing in any weather. A particularly pleasant part of the golf complex is a restaurant with a summer terrace located directly on the lake. You can reward yourself for a successful game with a delicious specialty from the local menu.

The greatest attraction of the golf complex is undoubtedly its championship course. It comes from the workshop of architect Martin Munka, who designed it in cooperation with Dávid Záleský. The golfing environment here is created by the southern Slovak plain interspersed with white sand bunkers and water surfaces. The pleasant atmosphere of the course is enhanced by a floodplain forest where 8 holes are placed. Up to half of the fairways touch the water surface, including an island green. Landing zones with a width of 70–80 m were built following the model of American courses. The course consists of black, white, yellow, blue, and red tees. The area is therefore suitable for both professionals and less experienced players. Top-quality grass is a matter of course here.

If you do not feel ready for the course of golf champions yet, in Hrubá Borša they also have a smaller public course prepared for you, suitable for playing short distances. Here you can practice and test your knowledge of the rules of golf. Your game will be varied by a large lake and numerous sand bunkers. Weather will not ruin your visit to this golf paradise either. You can practice your drive in the covered driving range building, which features 17 illuminated bays with artificial mats.

The rich range of services at the golf complex also includes a professional golf shop. On a retail area of 320 m2, you will find everything you need for this sport, including complete beginner golf sets. If you want to relax comfortably and enjoy a good meal after a challenging match on the golf course, we definitely recommend visiting the local restaurant. The modern design of the interior and the summer terrace combined with quality international cuisine guarantee a perfect gourmet experience. The cuisine's domain is local ingredients, including meat from surrounding farms, fish from local ponds, and baked goods from nearby bakeries. Directly within the golf complex, they will also take care of your car. The services include EV charging and car washing.

You can enhance a day spent on the golf course in this region by visiting Oáza sibírskeho tigra, relaxing on the shores of Slnečné jazerá, or enjoying a canoeing trip down Malý Dunaj. We also highly recommend a water adventure at Aquathermal Senec water park and a trip to the unique Malkia Park in Orechová Potôň. To manage to enjoy all these great experiences, book accommodation near the Golf Borša complex. If the selection of accommodation in Hrubá Borša does not meet all your expectations, choose accommodation in Senec. The exceptionally popular Senec chalets will certainly not disappoint you.

Rafting the Malý Dunaj is one of the most popular and sought-after water attractions in Slovakia. Thanks to the calm waters of the Dunaja branch, literally anyone can take part in it. Due to its undemanding nature, it is popular especially among families with children and groups of friends. Hop into a canoe and admire the wonderful nature along the banks.

You can set out on the rafting trip down the Malý Dunaj river from several locations. A popular end point is the campsite by the Vodnom kolovom mlyne Jelka. You can decide whether a short 2-hour cruise will be enough for you, or if you want to sail for a whole day or a whole weekend. You can choose from the following boating trips:

Relax river trip is relaxed and undemanding, and is suitable for families with children, school trips, and corporate team-building events. You have 3 routes to choose from Bratislava Vrakuňa – Korzo Zálesie, Korzo Zálesie – Tomášov, or Hurbanova Ves – Jelka.

In Jelka, besides a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, a nice architectural monument, the Vodný kolový mlyn a skanzen Jelka, will be waiting for you. If you do not want to camp under the open sky, stay in a romantic cottage or use the services of local guesthouses. You can view the entire accommodation offer near the disembarkation point of Splavu Malý Dunaj on the website accommodation Jelka. Spend subsequent days in the Podunajskej nížine discovering interesting places. One of them is certainly the Oáza Sibírskeho tigra in the nearby village of Kostolná pri Dunaji.

Vodný mlyn Jelka, also known as Némethov mlyn, is situated in the beautiful natural environment of the village of the same name, on the banks of the Malý Dunaj river. It is originally a ship mill that was converted into a stake mill in 1905. In Central Europe, it is considered a rarity as it has three floors. The mill in Jelka is an exhibition of the Vlastivedné múzeum v Galante.

The location in which it is situated is tailor-made for water mills. This is also confirmed by statistics from the past. In 1866, there were approximately 37 mills on the Malý Dunaj, 4 of which were in Jelka. By 1902, there were already 7 of them in Jelka, named after their owners. Némethov mlyn, which was the first in order from upstream, is currently open to the public. The first mention of it dates back to 1894.

In the past, mills served their economic function. However, the technical nature of the mills over time hindered progress in the milling process, and their location also impeded watercraft traffic. In 1885, the so-called Water Act was passed, on the basis of which all water mills that conflicted with police orders regarding navigation safety were abolished. This led to the aforementioned conversion of the mill into a stake mill. The reconstruction lasted from 1900, and the mill began milling again in 1906. Rye was mostly milled here, and according to the former owner's stories, farmers came to this mill from great distances to have their grain milled into flour or semolina. This continued until 1951, when the mill ceased operation.

The dominant feature of the mill is the wooden mill building. The technological equipment of the mill consists of three systems. The drive system is formed by a paddle water wheel with bottom drive. The transmission system consists of a main gear wheel and another pair of wheels, with a conical pinion transferring the rotational movement. The third system, the working or milling system, is formed by the entire technology, in which every detail fit together precisely to ensure the flawless operation of the mill.

You can reach the mill via a dirt field road heading from Jelka towards Dunajská Streda. When you arrive, be sure to visit the open-air museum located nearby as well. It will introduce you to the agricultural past of the village of Jelka. Naturally, refreshment options near the mill are also available. Anyone wishing to camp or anchor a boat is also in the right place.

Water mills belong to an interesting part of history, especially in the southern regions of our country. Book accommodation near Vodný mlyn v Jelke, for example on the page accommodation Jelka or accommodation in district Galanta, and set off on the footsteps of our ancestors. It was not so long ago that the mills were still operating regularly. Perhaps during your trip, you will run into locals who remember stories from this era passed down by their grandparents.

Včelársky skanzen (also known as a museum or apiary clearing), situated in a beautiful English park in the village of Kráľová pri Senci, ranks among the largest beekeeping open-air museums in Central Europe. It is a significant collection of valuable information about the life and functioning of bees. You can even see with your own eyes an original thousand-year-old bee used in a film by Juraj Jakubiska.

This small bee kingdom, as the locals fondly call it, was founded in 1930. At that time, it originally served as a vocational school for future beekeepers. In 1932, the apiary clearing was handed over to the Regional Headquarters of Beekeeping Associations in Slovakia, and gradually, from 1961 onwards, the construction of the beekeeping open-air museum began. Its gates were opened to the public in 1975. Today, this unique beekeeping museum offers you displays of truly unique hive collections. It gathers unique materials about the development of beekeeping, how we as humanity can use it in various areas of our lives, and last but not least, about honey production.

During the tour, Včelárska paseka will also give you an answer to why a human could not survive without bees. You will learn that bees have been on Earth for more than 150 million years, and of course, the secret of their precious products. Whether it is liquid gold, as honey is popularly called, propolis, royal jelly, pollen, or last but not least, wax.

The museum features more than 300 exhibits, each of which can tell its own story. Some of the exhibited hives were even used as early as the 17th century. Located here is a large apiary building where honey extractors, comb foundation presses, and various tools and supplies of beekeepers mapping the development of beekeeping in Slovakia are exhibited.

You will leave Včelárska paseka truly enriched. With new information, experiences, inner gratitude toward the little bees and their tireless work, and last but not least, perhaps also with purchased genuine bee products. If you also want to participate in one of the events held here, we recommend booking accommodation in Senec and its surroundings so that you can also visit other attractions that the surroundings of the open-air museum and Senec offer.

Slnečné jazerá (Sun Lakes) or Senecké jazerá are among the most visited recreation centers in Slovakia. We can find them in the town of Senec. Every year, this location is visited by many families with children, young active holidaymakers, and seniors. The advantage is the low entrance fee, the option to purchase a seasonal pass, and a number of attractions in the area. Slnečné jazerá in Senec are also popular among fishermen, who can pursue their hobby here without any worries.

The lakes were artificially created in 1845, when five separate lakes were formed after gravel dredging. These later merged into one water area with an area of 120 hectares and a depth of up to 12 meters. Since 1919, the place began to be used as a natural swimming area. At that time, it was also known by the name Slovenské Tahiti (Slovak Tahiti).

Today, the resort is divided into three zones - northern, southern, and eastern. The northern side is especially suitable for families with children, as there is an Aquathermal Senec water park with water attractions and a playground for children. However, you will find various attractions for active holidaymakers in every part. You will appreciate the beach volleyball courts, football fields, and tennis courts.

Water sports are a matter of course here. You can practice Zumba and yoga, or explore the surroundings faster on scooters, which you can rent. During the summer, various musical events held directly on the premises are also very popular.

You don't have to go far for other points of interest. Visit Včelársky skanzen (Beekeeping Open-air Museum), Oáza sibírskeho tigra (Siberian Tiger Oasis) in Kostolná pri Dunaji, enjoy adventure flights from Kráľová pri Senci, or an adrenaline rafting trip on the Malý Dunaj river. Book your accommodation at Slnečné jazerá Senec and plan a holiday packed with experiences!

Part of the popular Slnečné jazerá is also the Aquathermal Senec aquapark. It is located in the Slnečné jazerá – sever section in Senec. It is a recreational and relaxation complex that has been open since 2004. Thanks to the geothermal well to which it is directly connected, you can enjoy relaxation during the summer as well as in winter.

The aquapark offers rest and relaxation for every age group, and older people as well as families with children will find something for themselves. You can relax in 6 pools throughout the year, and others are added during the summer season. In summer, you can use as many as 11 of them. You can swim in a 25 m long swimming pool, a so-called quiet pool with a water temperature of up to 38 degrees Celsius is intended for relaxation, and a flow-through pool with an area of up to 376 m2 forms the transition between the outdoor and indoor parts. Children can let loose in a children's pool designed specifically for them. In each of the mentioned pools, you will also find some water attraction designed for all visitors. In the pools, you will find, for example, massage or water jets, a geyser, a water spout, or various types of counter-currents.

For the more active and sports-minded people, the aquapark has prepared a number of toboggan slides and water slides. You will enjoy the most fun on the AQUA Fun toboggan tower, on the Mississipi and Kamikadze toboggans, or on the Tsunami track, where you can also try racing with friends. There are also two separate water slides and the so-called Tornádo funnel, which is the only attraction of this type in Slovakia.

Right in the aquapark, you will also find the SAI wellness Senec wellness center. A sauna world with a steam and dry sauna is a matter of course, and the so-called dry bamboo sauna is also exceptional. After the sauna, you can cool down in several whirlpools, in the outdoor cooling pool with a so-called Kneipp bath, or under a cold shower. A massage can also be a relaxation after a whole day in the resort. In addition to a classic one, Thai or a special Sothys massage is available. An interesting feature is the Japanese procedure of the so-called hanakusami ritual enriched with cherry blossoms.

The surroundings of the town of Senec are known mainly for their Slnečné jazerá. The recreational resort is a sought-after area for visitors from all over Slovakia.

Malkia Park in Orechová Potôň is a unique place that opened its gates to the public on June 4, 2016. Orechová Potôň is a village in the Dunajská Streda district. The park is primarily home to large felines that were abused or unwanted, but other animal species have gradually been added as well. Many animals that were already born in captivity and thus would unfortunately not survive in the wild have found their sanctuary here. While they do not get freedom, they receive a lot of love and the necessary care.

The ZOO got its name from the first animal rescued by the zookeepers and founders of the park. It was the lioness Malkia. Her name means "queen" in the Swahili language, and perhaps that is why locals sometimes call Malkia Park the "royal park". Malkia Park is home to many impressive felines, but you will also find zebras, camels, donkeys, goats, sheep, llamas, gibbons, capuchins, lemurs, tortoises, meerkats, parrots, and waterfowl. Most of our charges have a story. Many are strong, and perhaps you will hold back tears at some of them, but each of them ultimately ended happily.

The ZOO offers not only a classic visit but also organizes experiential or weekend stays. You can become an animal keeper for a day. You will look at the operation of the ZOO from another perspective and understand how much love zookeepers must have within themselves to make the animals in the ZOO happy and content. Malkia Park thinks primarily of the youngest ones. How about preparing an unforgettable birthday celebration for them right in the ZOO? Thematic decoration, plenty of fun, and interesting facts about animals are a great birthday gift in themselves.

Malkia Park even offers the opportunity to become an adoptive parent of one of the animals. The animal you adopt in this way will receive exemplary care for all your financial contributions. As a "parent", you will receive an adoption certificate, free entry to the park, and a small token of appreciation. In addition, you can participate in a special tour designated for adoptive parents. Of course, your name will be included on a wooden plaque placed directly at the enclosure of "your" animal. Once the adoption period expires, the ZOO will give you the plaque as a souvenir.

For the youngest visitors, there is also a children's playground and a children's world in the park to entertain them in case of inclement weather. You can also leave the park with a nice souvenir from the gift shop. There is also a bistro located within the premises.

A visit to Malkia Park will tug at your heartstrings. Whether you are big or small, the touching stories and the strong mission of the park, which decided to rescue suffering animals, will leave an emotion in you. The fact that someone helps those who cannot help themselves is simply admirable. If you have decided to visit, we recommend booking accommodation near Malkia Park.

Miloslavka is a freshwater lake with an area of 7 ha, located in the cadastral area of the village of Miloslavov, in the Senec district. The location is situated only 5 km from Bratislava.

The sad reality of today is that the once-glorious castles on our territory have turned into ruins. These are sought after primarily by avid hikers who crave stunning views and relaxation in nature. The ruin of castle Čeklís, located on the edge of the village of Bernolákovo, is one of them. Here, you can enjoy a view of the Podunajskú nížinu plain, Bratislavu, and Bratislavský castle.

The village of Bernolákovo is one of the relatively large villages located in the Senec district. During your visit, you will certainly notice its landmark: the Roman Catholic kostol sv. Štefana Kráľa church from 1355 and the adjacent kaplnku sv. Anny chapel from 1835. On the elevated terraced hilltop known as Várdomb (Hradný vrch), the hrad Čeklís castle is situated. In written records, it is also mentioned as Ceki, Chekluez, Cheklys, or Chekles.

Getting to this castle is manageable for everyone. The hike to this publicly accessible ruin is easy and will take you less than 10 minutes on foot. Simply park your car by the church and follow the dirt path alongside it directly to your destination. From a distance, you will see the silhouette of a tower emerging from the castle, although it is not part of the original structure.

The castle was likely built in the 13th century as a guard castle. The first reference to it dates back to 1209 as the old settlement of Šebeš, the royal cellar administrator. Many owners are mentioned in the castle’s history, including Charles Robert, Sigismund of Luxembourg, and the Eszterházy family. Unfortunately, the castle fell into ruin during Rákóczi's War of Independence. In 1720, a Baroque manor house was built near the castle. Today, only a fragment of a 1.9 m thick curtain wall remains. A sharp-eyed observer may also notice a vaulted discharge arch with a span of 5 m. The castle was reportedly protected by a moat as well. The round waterworks tower, which fits into the stylized scenery, might also help draw tourists here. This was built in 1905 on the remnants of a Baroque brick cistern.

Two legends are associated with the castle. The first tells the story of the beautiful Helena of Čeklís, who intoxicated the Turkish Grand Vizier with her wine and fled to svätojurský hrad castle before the Turkish invasion. She also wanted to trick the enemy by shoeing her horses backwards. As a result, the soldiers remained confused and, in their helplessness and rage, burned the castle down. The second legend, about the candles of Čeklís, might be told to you by the locals.

You can stay in the region for a longer period to explore all the points of interest beyond the traces of history. Golf lovers and sports enthusiasts can visit the largest golf resort with 55 greens, Black River Golf Resort Bratislava. It is located directly in this village, offering a great way to diversify your daily itinerary. Anglers choose the jazero Miloslavka lake as their place of relaxation. A walk through a landscape English park also has its charm; you can experience one at Kaštieli Eberhard in Malinovo.

You are surely among the fans of history as well. If so, go back in time with us and visit the Vlastivedné múzeum v Galante . Discover with us the history of the Galanta district, which lies in the middle of the Podunajská nížina. The museum is located in an ancient building right next to the Rímskokatolícky kostol and the parish office.

The Vlastivedné múzeum v Galante was established on April 1, 1969. The first impulse for its creation came from local teachers, who led a local history club at that time. From 1970 to 1986, the museum was housed in the Neogotický kaštieľ manor house. In 2014, it moved to new premises of a former bank in the town center. In the museum building, you can view 8 permanent exhibitions. The first exhibition is titled Mestská bytová kultúra and presents a collection of historical furniture from the late 19th to the early 20th century. The displayed pieces represent the living style of the so-called upper social class.

In the room Sakrálne pamiatky, items with religious themes that once formed part of church furnishings will catch your interest. The exhibition Tradičná ľudová kultúra galantského regiónu presents an ethnological collection of the way of life in the surrounding microregions: Šoporňa, Pata, Abrahám, Veľký Grob, and Slovenský Komlóš. The displayed objects originate from the fields of traditional folk clothing, folk crafts, and home production.

Perhaps the most interesting room is Lekáreň, whose furnishings come from a family pharmacy in Bratislava dating back to 1909. The exhibition consists of numerous small bottles and containers of various shapes and sizes that once served in the production of pharmaceuticals. Laboratory tools and pharmacy scales are also located here, and diplomas of local pharmacists and doctors hold an honorable place as well.

In the smallest section, Výtvarní umelci regiónu, you will find 11 paintings by the painter Anton Dubrovský, a native of Šoporňa. The historical exhibition Mlyny a mlynárske remeslo deals with the development of milling in the area of the Malý Dunaj river and the lower reach of the Váh river, from its beginnings up to the end of the 20th century.

Archeologická lokalita Gáň-Brakoň. That is the name of the exhibition in which you will see finds from the ancient settlement of this region. Vessels and fragments of various tools date from the Neolithic period and the Late Bronze Age. The last stop is the Numizmatická výstava exhibition, located in a former vault room. Here you can inspect coins from the reign of Franz Joseph I as well as coins originating from Šintavský hrad.

In addition to permanent exhibitions, the Vlastivedné múzeum manages 9 branch exhibitions: Dom ľudového bývania Matúškovo, Vodný kolový mlyn Jelka, Vodný kolový mlyn Tomášikovo, Renesančný kaštieľ Galanta, Dom ľudového bývania Veľké Úľany, Mestské múzeum v Seredi, Múzeum Veľká Mača, Expozícia v Dome ľudového bývania v Šali, and Expozícia v Dome ľudového bývania v Žihárci.

The Vlastivedné múzeum keeps up with the times and always lures its visitors with new, interesting exhibitions. No wonder it won the Museum of the Year award in 2014. After this successful excursion, head to the historical center and taste the specialties of local restaurants.

You can spend the end of the day with a pleasant walk around the Vodná nádrž Kráľová. If you plan to spend a few days in the Považie region, book your stay now. A rich offer of accommodation near the Vlastivedné múzeum Galanta can be found on the page accommodation in Galante. On the following day, you can visit Ranč na Striebornom jazere, where, in addition to horseback riding, you can enjoy fish specialties.

The Nové Košariská I. lake, also called Veľké Košariská or Veľké jazero Rovinka, is located near the villages of Rovinka and Dunajská Lužná, just 3 km from the Podunajské Biskupice district of Bratislava. Other lakes are also located in this area: Malé Košariská (Nové Košariská II.) and Nové Košariská (gravel pit lake). All three were formed as a result of gravel mining.

Veľké Košariská is 870 metres long and 500 metres wide, consisting of two parts separated by a small peninsula. One of the parts is shallower and surrounded by trees. The second part is deep, separated from the shallow area by a gravel drop-off, and is popular with scuba divers, as it reaches a depth of up to 40 metres very close to the shore. Several species of fish live in the lake; common ones include carp and pike, while catfish, zander, and eels are frequently observed, and freshwater jellyfish occur exceptionally in autumn.

Summer attracts vacationers to Košariská who like to refresh themselves in the crystal-clear water, which is nearly drinkable in quality, as proven by repeated official tests. Not all shores of the lake offer equally good access to the water; the best is from the gravel beach located in the eastern part. The more daring and free-spirited can visit the nudist beach. The remaining shores are steep, built up with holiday cottages in some places, and therefore often inaccessible. At the lake, food stands, toilets, and water sports equipment rentals, including pedal boats, are available for visitors. Sun loungers with umbrellas can also be rented here. The most common way to get to the lake is by car; riding a bicycle is not recommended, as there is no cycle path.

If you visit this area, make sure not to limit yourself to swimming and sunbathing by the water. Take a look at Bratislava as well, and discover the history and culture of the capital city. Art lovers are recommended to visit the Danubiana art museum at the Vodné dielo Gabčíkovo dam project. Adrenaline enthusiasts should head to the Areál Divoká voda complex in Čunovo.

Finding accommodation near Nové Košariská will certainly be easy, as it is just a stone's throw from Bratislava, which offers truly all types of accommodation. It depends on whether you prefer peace and quiet, choosing private accommodation on the outskirts of the city, or need all services close by, opting for an apartment in the centre. You can also choose based on your budget; hotels, guesthouses, and low-cost hostels are available.

They are filled with thermal water, which has beneficial effects on the musculoskeletal system. You can try to get your body moving by swimming in the large relaxation pool, which is mainly intended for relaxing in the water. The water temperature here is 28 – 30 °C.

During your visit to the village of Jahodná in the Dunajská Streda district, you cannot miss the view of the Roman Catholic Church of Saint Peter and Paul. However, the village was also known for milling, which was reflected in the lives of the inhabitants who built an interesting water mill here on the adjacent parts of the Malý Dunaj.

On the calm surface of the Malý Dunaj river with its constant water flow, a total of 11 mills were built. Only 4 have survived to the present day. One of them is the wheel water mill in Jahodná, which has been restored and declared a technical monument of folk milling.

One of the main components of human nutrition was grain and grain products. These were processed in this area by grinding in water mills. Looking at this structure, you will find that it is a single-story brick building. It was built around 1920. Due to a lack of financial resources, the mill had to be sold to a new owner, namely Západoslovenské energetické závody. That is also why it is not accessible to the general public today.

The mill is among the sought-after attractions of this village. You can reach it via a cycling loop that starts and ends in Dunajská Streda. Its length is 57 km, including a stop at this mill. The second way to visit this place is by floating along the educational trail that starts in Tomášikovo. The loop is 10 km long. Along this route, you will also see another water mill in Tomášikovo.

The environment is peaceful and thus mainly attracts the attention of tourists who need relaxation in nature. Some choose a slightly more adventurous program and do not hesitate to pitch their tent near the mill. At night, it is beautiful to observe the sky studded with glowing stars. However, it is more pleasant to spend your stay in accommodation at the water mill Jahodná.

Not everyone can appreciate the beauty of such a unique structure. That is why many visitors choose one of the other leisure options for their program. Riding at the Czajlik ranch is among the favorites. During hot summer days, you can cool your sun-heated bodies in the Thermal park Dunajská Streda. In addition to swimming pools, you will also find a number of attractions, wellness, or a lake with a rich offer of water sports. Cat lovers will be pleased by the opportunity to visit Malkia Park, which is a sanctuary for abused and unwanted animals.

We believe that you will fully enjoy your stay by the water mill in this village. You can make it special by accommodation in chalets in Jahodná, which offer sufficient privacy even for larger groups of guests. Alternatively, book one of the comfortable apartments, from where you will have the opportunity to set out for other attractions in Jahodná. We will be happy to help you choose the best accommodation on our website.

When visiting the Podunajský región region, you can also stop in the village of Dunajský Klátov. It will charm you not only with its picturesque nature, but also with an interesting technical monument in the outskirts of the village, which is an old watermill. It is located right on the bank of the Klátovské rameno of the Malý Dunaj.

This cultural historical monument is a typical example of an undershot watermill. It was converted into its current form in 1920. The mill was still functional in the 1940s. 10 years later, a new bridge was built in the area, and the water to the mill was diverted to the side. The mill thus lost its original function. However, in the 2nd half of the 1980s, the state purchased the mill and declared the surrounding area a protected area with several protected plant and animal species. It was opened to the public only in 1987. In 2016, it underwent another complete reconstruction. An exhibition of water milling with original equipment was subsequently set up on its premises.

And what does this mill look like today? Imagine a two-story building with a gabled roof. The millhouse building is brick, and the wheel together with the drive system are located in a wooden extension. This facility consists of a mill wheel, which forms the drive system. This is followed by the transmission and working systems. During your visit to this place, take note of the industrial metal windows as well.

Visit this place and, in addition to the watermill, enjoy the pier with a view of the calm water surface. In the village, you can also take a walk to the Roman Catholic chapel and quiet yourself in prayer beside it. Do not miss the opportunity to go horseback riding at Czajlik Ranch either. As part of your itinerary, you can go see other watermills located in the surrounding area. On hot summer days, you can relax in the pools of Thermalpark Dunajská Streda. You can also entertain your children with a visit to Malkia Park, which is home to big cats.

When exploring the region, it is good to think about how you will end your evening. You can head either home or to accommodation near the watermill in Dunajský Klátov. In our offer of accommodation facilities on our website, we have beautiful rooms in guesthouses. Located on the riverbank are also stunning cottages in Dunajský Klátov. It all depends on you which type of accommodation facility you choose as the place for your temporary stay.
